Master Painters of the World 83capturing the essence or feeling of home.
The vibrancy and thickness of her paint is a reflection of her feelings toward
the subject and the paint itself. By piling on the paint and moving it around in
different directions, she brings the subject to life. Most of Washington-Dixon’s
paintings are completed in a single sitting so they remain fresh and immediate.
Washington-Dixon’s upcoming projects include providing high quality
gicleé prints from her original works and producing online tutorials. In the
future, she plans to open a studio gallery, where she can also teach classes and
two-day workshops.

@hwdixonartThree Cows, oil on cradled panel, 20 x 20" (51 x 51 cm)
A short walk from my home in Suffolk are the Sudbury Water Meadows. Flanked by picturesque period cottages and the old mill lies the
meadow, which is very popular with dog walkers and various cows. My eye was drawn to the contrast of three red cows against the yellow-
green grassland and the blue-green tree line. This was painted from a quick colour sketch that I did on location. To keep a more painterly feel
back in the studio, I used a larger palette knife and lots of paint applied in broader gestures to make the grass less fiddly and more abstract.
